Pro-Iran militias and soldiers reopen old desert bases to approach IS safely. The latest is in Palmyra. Meanwhile, Russia keeps enemies busy with raids.
The strategy, however, has so far proved ineffective. In 2021 there were 455 strikes on IS, but only 34 jihadists killed. In addition, ambushes against the SAA continue.
It’s confirmed by the IS attacks on the SAA after more than 200 strikes by Moscow fighters. The war between pro-Turkish militias in Idlib-Aleppo is also deepening.
